Podcasts about Andromeda

This week we're joined by Sierra legend Mark Crowe, co-creator of the Space Quest series and one half of the iconic Two Guys from Andromeda. Mark reveals how he went from never touching a computer to helping define the golden age of adventure gaming, working alongside Roberta Williams, Disney, and a hapless space janitor named Roger Wilco. Plus, we hear about the long-awaited reunion that brought Space Venture to life.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we delve into groundbreaking discoveries that could reshape our understanding of life on Mars and the cosmos beyond.Martian Ice: A Potential Reservoir for LifeA recent study suggests that Martian ice may be the most promising location to search for signs of ancient microbial life. Researchers found that biomolecules from dormant microbes degrade significantly slower in pure water ice compared to Martian soil mixtures. This discovery, published in the journal Astrobiology, raises hopes that future missions to Mars could uncover preserved organic materials in its icy regions, potentially revealing the planet's biological history.A Mysterious Dark Object in the UniverseAstronomers have identified the lowest mass dark object ever detected, with a mass about a million times that of our Sun. This enigmatic object, reported in Nature Astronomy, may offer insights into the nature of dark matter, which constitutes a significant portion of the universe's mass. The object was detected through gravitational lensing, and its small size challenges existing theories about dark matter's composition and distribution.NASA's Call for Lunar Mission BidsNASA is seeking new bids for its Artemis Moon program, aiming to foster competition among American companies to return humans to the lunar surface. With ongoing delays from SpaceX, NASA Administrator Sean Duffy emphasizes the urgency of the mission as the U.S. races against China to achieve lunar exploration milestones. The upcoming Artemis missions promise to be pivotal in establishing a sustainable human presence on the Moon.November Skywatch with Jonathan Nallywww.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrobiology Journalhttps://www.liebertpub.com/journals/astrobiology/1Nature Astronomyhttps://www.nature.com/natureastronomy/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.Martian Ice: A Potential Reservoir for LifeA Mysterious Dark Object in the UniverseNASA's Call for Lunar Mission Bids

The night sky is filled with monsters. And none are more fearsome than the Gorgons – three sisters who were so hideous that a single glance at them turned the observer to stone. One of them was beheaded by Perseus the hero. His constellation shows him holding the head, which is outlined by four stars – the Gorgons. In mythology, two of the sisters were immortal. But the third, Medusa, was not. Perseus managed to lop off her head with the help of the gods. They gave him an invisibility cloak, a diamond sword, and a bronze shield. He could safely view the Gorgons by looking at their reflection in the shield. Perseus used Medusa’s head to destroy the sea monster, Cetus, which was about to kill the princess Andromeda. Cetus and Andromeda have their own constellations, as do Andromeda’s parents. The brightest star in Medusa’s head is Algol – a name that means “head of the demon.” It’s low in the northeast in early evening and climbs high across the sky later on. The other Gorgons form an arc to the right of Algol. One is fairly easy to spot, while the other two require a darker sky. All four of the Gorgon stars are bigger, heavier, and brighter than the Sun. Algol is a couple of hundred light-years away, while the other three are about a hundred light-years farther. The Gorgons form a demonic presence in the sky – shining down on Halloween weekend. We’ll have more about Halloween tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

Subscribe to DTC Newsletter - https://dtcnews.link/signupHello and welcome to the DTC Podcast. Today's guest is Brenden  Delarua, co‑founder of Stella, the measurement SaaS helping DTC brands convert media spend into real business growth through incrementality testing and media‑mix modelling (at a much lower price than a lot of other platforms).https://stellaheystella.comFollow Brenden on TikTok Why this matters for DTC marketers & media buyers:You're under pressure to justify ad spend with profit, but your on‑platform ROAS doesn't tell the full story.Brenden walks us through how to build and run incremental testing (hold‑out studies) + media‑mix models so you allocate budget to channels that drive real growth.We also dig into his view on channel incrementality: why CTV/YouTube often win, why branded search and retargeting may be traps, and how creative diversity and scaling methodology matter.Key moments in this episode:Why Brenden built Stella (the anxiety of hitting ROAS goals but not seeing P&L growth.)How to set up hold‑out incrementality studies: picking regions, measuring revenue lift, ignoring on‑platform vanity metrics.The “Always On Incrementality” concept: daily causal analysis across campaigns.Creative diversity review: three‑word heuristic to test if your ads are too similar.Campaign structure advice for Meta: testing vs scaling in two campaigns.Hot take on measurement: many brands over‑complicate it (and overpay) without actionable clarity.Future of media buying & AI: creative + measurement convergence.If you're a DTC brand owner, media buyer or marketing leader trying to squeeze more profit from your ad dollars, this conversation will give you a grounded, tactical framework to start measuring and scaling smarter.Timestamps00:00 – Why ROAS doesn't mean ROI and the rise of incrementality02:00 – How Stella helps DTC brands test true ad impact06:00 – The myth of high ROAS campaigns and what's really incremental10:00 – Always-on incrementality and Stella's AI dashboard14:00 – Media mix modeling and improving accuracy for marketers18:00 – Pricing transparency and making incrementality affordable22:00 – Which ad platforms are actually incremental26:00 – Why most marketers overcomplicate incrementality27:00 – Brenden's TikTok growth and its impact on Stella30:00 – Meta's Andromeda update and how creative drives results36:00 – The future of AI and media buyingHashtags#dtcpodcast #incrementality #mediabuying #marketingstrategy #adspend #stella #digitalmarketing #ecommercegrowth #brandstrategy #advertisinganalytics #d2cbrands #metaads #googleads #tiktokmarketing #marketingmeasurement #roas #growthmarketingSubscribe to DTC Newsletter - https://dtcnews.link/signupAdvertise on DTC - https://dtcnews.link/advertiseWork with Pilothouse - https://dtcnews.link/pilothouseFollow us on Instagram & Twitter - @dtcnewsletterWatch this interview on YouTube - https://dtcnews.link/video

Send us a textIn this episode of The AstroGuy Podcast, Wayne explores what's happening in the night sky this November. The evening skies are filled with bright planets — Jupiter shines brilliantly all month, Saturn's rings appear nearly edge-on, and Uranus reaches opposition on November 21st, making this the best time of the year to view the distant ice giant. Neptune remains faint in Pisces, while Mercury, Mars, and Venus make brief appearances near sunrise and sunset.  Comet Lemmon (C/2025 A6) continues to impress observers, while Comet SWAN (C/2025 R2) offers a fainter but rewarding binocular challenge. The Leonid meteor shower peaks on November 17th and 18th under dark, moonless skies, with about a dozen meteors per hour expected.  In space news, SpaceX achieved another milestone with the successful dual splashdowns of Starship and its booster during Flight 11. This month's lunar feature is Gassendi Crater, a striking, terraced impact crater on the edge of Mare Humorum.The Deep Sky Tour focuses on Perseus, high in the eastern sky on November evenings. Wayne shares the mythology behind the hero who rescued Andromeda and highlights Perseus's brightest stars — Mirfak and Algol — along with several deep sky treasures.Wayne also previews the next episode — an interview with planetary imager Greg Shanos, who recently captured 15 of 16 Titan transits across Saturn.  Don't forget to like, subscribe, and comment—it really helps us grow and reach more interested folks.Contact: AstroGuyPodcast@gmail.com Text/Voicemail: (973) 404-0380If you enjoy the episode, please subscribe, comment, and share, and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform.

Do you still believe in “cut the losers and let the winners run”? After seeing what Meta's Andromeda update is doing under the hood, that old-school strategy might be costing you real growth. In this Ad Lab session, John Moran and I break down how Andromeda completely rewrites the rules of campaign optimization and why CPA alone no longer tells the whole story. We analyse live account data where spend doubled, CPAs held steady, and results skyrocketed, all because we stopped judging ads by last-click performance. Using Tier 11's Data Suite, we uncovered how creative sequencing, user journey mapping, and first-click CAPI imports reveal what's driving conversions inside Meta's new ecosystem. This episode unpacks what Andromeda really means for your campaigns and how to play Meta's game the way Meta does.In this episode:- Client case study on Andromeda's sequencing impact- Ad performance analysis: UGC vs. non-UGC ad trends- Why CPA is a poor performance judge - Scaling ad spend and performance metrics- UGC ads and their effectiveness- Creative targeting and expanding market reach- Conclusion and call to actionResources Mentioned In The Episode:Tier 11 Data Suite – https://www.tiereleven.com/what-we-do/data-suite Meta Engineering Blog Article on Andromeda – https://engineering.fb.com/2024/12/02/production-engineering/meta-andromeda-advantage-automation-next-gen-personalized-ads-retrieval-engine/ Ad Lab Live Sessions – https://www.youtube.com/@Tier11/streams Buy Tier 11's Creative Diversification Package: https://www.tiereleven.com/apply Listen to this episode on your favorite podcast channel:Follow and listen on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/perpetual-traffic/id1022441491 Follow and listen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/59lhtIWHw1XXsRmT5HBAuK Subscribe and watch on YouTube: perpetualtraffic.com/youtube We appreciate your support!Visit our website: https://perpetualtraffic.com/ Follow us on X: https://x.com/perpetualtraf Connect with John Moran: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnmorangads Connect with Ralph Burns: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ralphburns Instagram -

A giant companion to a giant star faces an uncertain fate. The star is dying. As it expires, it will blast the companion, drag it inward, zap it with radiation, then loosen its grip on whatever remains. Mirach is the second-brightest star of Andromeda. It’s passed through the prime phase of life, and now is in the red-giant phase. It’s puffed up to about 85 times the diameter of the Sun, making it shine about 1700 times brighter than the Sun. Two years ago, astronomers discovered that Mirach has a companion. It’s probably a “failed star” known as a brown dwarf. It’s twice as far from Mirach as Earth is from the Sun. Before long – astronomically speaking – the star’s outer layers will flow into space at tens of thousands of miles per hour. That will “sandblast” the companion, stripping away some of its bulk. And friction from that material will drag the companion toward the star. After that, only the star’s hot but dead core will remain – a white dwarf. It’ll pelt the companion with ultraviolet radiation, vaporizing more of it. But the white dwarf will be much less massive than the present star, so it will loosen its gravitational grip on the companion. No one knows for sure how all of this will play out, so we can’t predict the fate of Mirach’s giant companion. Mirach is a third of the way up in the east-northeast at nightfall. It’s easy to see, even from most light-polluted cities. Script by Damond Benningfield

This week, we're joined by Reza Khadjavi, founder and CEO of Motion, the podcast's premier sponsor. Reza breaks down who he'd hire first if he were running growth today, why the best marketers right now are the ones who can merge strategy, execution, and AI into one high-leverage role, and how he's seeing the return of the elite IC reshape modern marketing teams.Connor M shares a behind-the-scenes look at how Ridge has collapsed entire layers of their go-to-market workflow, cutting out handoffs, speeding up launches, and proving that smaller, sharper teams can actually do more. We dig into how AI is automating execution, why creativity still sets teams apart, and what it really means for how work gets done.Then we explore the latest creative trends, from Meta's Andromeda update and what it means for persona-based targeting to how brands should actually be thinking about creative diversity. Reza walks through Motion's new AI tagging system, the eight most important categories for creative testing, and why so many brands miss the mark on evolving their messaging. We also talk about how getting naming conventions right can unlock better insights, sharper strategy, and way more creative clarity.If you have a question for the MOperators Hotline, click the link to be in with a chance of it being discussed on the show: https://forms.gle/1W7nKoNK5Zakm1Xv6Chapters:00:00:00 - Introduction00:05:41 - The Three First Hires for a Director of Growth00:26:28 - How Ridge Collapsed Its Go-to-Market Workflow00:37:36 - When Leaders Become ICs00:51:14 - Meta Andromeda & The Need for Creative Diversity01:07:44 - The Power of AI Tagging & Naming ConventionsPowered by:Motion.⁠⁠⁠https://motionapp.com/pricing?utm_source=marketing-operators-podcast&utm_medium=paidsponsor&utm_campaign=march-2024-ad-reads⁠⁠⁠https://motionapp.com/creative-trendsPrescient AI.⁠⁠⁠https://www.prescientai.com/operatorsRichpanel.⁠⁠⁠https://www.richpanel.com/?utm_source=MO&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=ytdescAftersell.https://www.aftersell.com/operatorsRivo.https://www.rivo.io/operatorsSubscribe to the 9 Operators Podcast here:https://www.youtube.com/@Operators9Subscribe to the Finance Operators Podcast here:https://www.youtube.com/@FinanceOperatorsFOPSSign up to the 9 Operators newsletter here:https://9operators.com/

Primordial Earth Discovery: Researchers have identified what may be the first physical traces of primordial Earth, dating back over 4.5 billion years, suggesting fragments of the planet's original materials still exist deep within the mantle. This groundbreaking study challenges previous assumptions about Earth's turbulent beginnings and the impact that formed the Moon.Dark Matter Interactions: New theoretical work proposes that dark matter might interact with normal matter through a subtle dark force, rather than solely through gravity. This concept could help explain anomalies in galaxy rotation curves and may require highly sensitive experiments to detect these weak interactions.Spotting the Andromeda Galaxy: The Andromeda Galaxy, our closest major galactic neighbor, is visible to the naked eye under dark skies. Listeners can learn how to locate it using the constellation Andromeda and the great square of Pegasus, and discover its significance as it approaches a future merger with the Milky Way.Green Fireball Meteor Over Tennessee: Residents in Tennessee witnessed a brilliant green fireball meteor, characterized by its striking emerald hue due to high concentrations of magnesium and nickel. This event offers scientists valuable insights into the composition of meteoroids and their interactions with Earth's atmosphere.Foldable Solar Sails for Space Travel: An innovative concept involving foldable solar sails for aerobraking and atmospheric reentry could revolutionize space travel. These sails would increase drag during atmospheric entry, reducing the need for propellant and allowing for more efficient missions.For more cosmic updates, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

Text us about this show.To say that The Mascot Theory created their new album, Cosmic Hit and Run, under pressure would be an understatement. They set out to create a concept album about helplessness, loss, grief, healing, and hope and in the process they lived it all. The finished product is nothing short of brilliant. Although each song can stand on its own, within the narrative of Cosmic Hit and Run they make for an incredible listen from beginning to end both musically and lyrically. Taking what they learned from working with producer Terry Manning and building on that, they have released what could be their—dare I say it?—masterpiece. Cosmic Hit and Run isn't just an album, it's a journey—one that you'll want to repeat often.This episode features an Into The Music first! Part of this show is an on stage interview with the band recorded at the Cosmic Hit and Run release gig in front of a live audience at Gibson Community Music Hall in Appleton, WI on October 3, 2025."As I Lay Here" and "Still Here" performed by The Mascot Theorywritten by Erik Kjelland℗ 2025 Stone After Stone Records.

In this episode of Hustle Inspires Hustle, Alex Quin breaks down practical, actionable strategies to help both e-commerce and service-based businesses succeed during Black Friday. He emphasizes the importance of keeping offers simple—such as clear tiered discounts or urgency-based service upgrades—to reduce friction and improve conversions. Alex stresses that successful marketing goes beyond flashy ads; it's about preparation across your funnel, creative assets, and backend systems. From fast-loading product pages to tight onboarding flows and accurate CRM tracking, every part of the customer journey needs to be ready.He also dives into content strategy and ad execution, encouraging brands to repurpose their top-performing content from earlier in the year with updated Black Friday messaging. Volume matters—especially with Meta's new Andromeda update—so having multiple creatives pre-approved and scheduled can lower costs and reduce last-minute stress. Whether paid or organic, campaigns should be well-structured and tracked meticulously. The core message? Black Friday isn't about hype—it's about execution, efficiency, and data-driven decisions.Episode Outline: [00:00] Welcome Back: Alex thanks listeners and sets up the Black Friday topic [00:15] Importance of Simplicity: Easy-to-understand offers and discounts [00:45] Service Business Tips: Creating urgency with bonuses and intro deals [01:10] Creative Strategy: Bold visuals, testimonials, and multi-format content [01:45] Funnel Tips: Fast product pages, clean checkout, single-action landing pages [02:10] Backend Systems: Fulfillment, calendar space, CRM, and onboarding readiness [02:40] Financial Modeling: Know your margins, track all costs [03:05] Repurposing Content: Use your best-performing content with new Black Friday angles [03:30] Meta Update & Scheduling: More creatives = lower cost; schedule everything early [04:00] Post-Purchase & Tracking: Upsells, LTV, CRM follow-ups, and clean analytics [04:20] Final Thought: Black Friday is about preparation, not just hypeWisdom Nuggets:Simplicity Sells: Your offer should be instantly understandable. Whether it's tiered discounts or bundled services, remove friction—no mental math or coupon codes.Urgency Wins: Black Friday thrives on limited-time offers. Add urgency through countdowns, limited bonuses, or time-sensitive upgrades to drive faster conversions.Prep the Back End: A killer front-end campaign fails without backend support. From ecom fulfillment to service onboarding systems, preparation prevents revenue leaks.Repurpose to Scale: Your best content from earlier in the year is your blueprint. Reuse proven assets with Black Friday messaging instead of creating from scratch.Track Everything or Risk Everything: If your data is off, your scaling efforts will fail. Ensure all pixels, UTMs, and analytics are accurate before campaigns go live.Power Quotes“The key is simplicity. Customers should get it right away.” - Alex Quin“No guessing, no mental math, and no making them type in coupon codes.” - Alex QuinConnect With the Podcast Host Alex Quin:Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/alexquin)Twitter: (https://twitter.com/mralexquin)LinkedIn: (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mralexquin)Website: (https://alexquin.com)TikTok: (https://www.tiktok.com/@mralexquin)Our CommunityInstagram: (https://www.instagram.com/hustleinspireshustle)Twitter: (https://twitter.com/HustleInspires)LinkedIn: (https://www.linkedin.com/company/hustle-inspires-hustle)Website: (https://hustleinspireshustle.com)*This page may contain affiliate links or sponsored content.

The constellations are well armed. Several of the star patterns that depict people or gods are carrying weapons. And some of them are in good view at this time of year. As darkness falls, look low in the west for the brilliant star Arcturus. It stands at the base of Boštes the herdsman. Like many of the ancient star figures, Boštes has different stories, and is drawn in different ways. In most depictions, he’s holding something long and straight against his right side. In some cases, it’s a staff. But in others, it’s a spear. Well above Boštes is Hercules, marked by a lopsided box of four stars. He’s wrestling the multi-headed hydra. And in some depictions, he’s holding up a club. In the south, look for Sagittarius. To modern eyes, it forms the outline of a teapot. But to the ancients, those stars formed an archer. The star at the outer edge of the spout is the point where he’s gripping both bow and arrow. And low in the northeast there’s a figure with a unique weapon. Perseus the hero is holding the head of Medusa. In mythology, anyone looking at Medusa was turned to stone. Perseus managed to sever the head, then used it to save the princess Andromeda from a monster. And if you’re stargazing before dawn, there’s another armed figure, well up in the south: Orion the hunter. He has two weapons. He’s holding a club in an upraised arm, with a sword strapped to his belt – a heavily armed figure in the stars. Script by Damond Benningfield

The Andromeda Galaxy, M31, is encircled by dozens of satellites – smaller galaxies in orbit around it. One of the larger satellites is something of an oddball. Of the three-dozen brightest, it’s the only one that lines up on the far side of Andromeda as seen from our home galaxy, the Milky Way. M31 is the closest giant galaxy to the Milky Way – just two-and-a-half million light-years away. Messier 110 is a couple of hundred thousand light-years farther. It’s a few thousand light-years in diameter, and contains about 10 billion stars – a tiny fraction the size of Andromeda. Astronomers have spent years watching M31’s entourage with Hubble Space Telescope. They recently reported that 36 of the 37 brightest members line up on the side of M31 that faces the Milky Way. And that’s hard to explain. The study said there’s only a tiny chance that the alignment is a coincidence – there must be a reason for it. But no one knows what that reason might be. It’s not a result of the Milky Way’s gravitational pull – it’s not strong enough. So there’s no obvious explanation for why M110 is an oddball – lurking on the far side of M31. M31 is low in the northeast at nightfall. Under dark skies, it looks like a hazy slash of light about as wide as the Moon. Through a small telescope, M110 looks like a bright star close by. Script by Damond Benningfield

The closest giant galaxy to the Milky Way is Messier 31, the Andromeda Galaxy. It’s two-and-a-half million light-years away. But it’s getting closer – by about 250,000 miles every hour. For more than a decade, in fact, it’s looked like the two galaxies were on a collision course. But a recent study says there’s only a 50-50 chance of a collision and merger. And if it does happen, it’ll take place billions of years later than previous estimates. The new study used years of observations by two space telescopes – Hubble and Gaia. Researchers plugged those observations into simulations that also considered the gravitational effects of two smaller galaxies. The results indicated that one of them tends to push Andromeda and the Milky Way together, while the other tends to pull them apart. The researchers ran a hundred thousand simulations. In half of them, Andromeda and the Milky Way flew past each other and went their own ways. In the other half, they eventually spiraled together and merged – but not for at least 10 billion years – twice as long as earlier estimates. The simulations aren’t the final word – there are just too many uncertainties. But for now, it seems likely that the two giants will stay apart for a long, long time. M31 is in the northeast at nightfall. Under dark skies, it’s visible as a hazy patch of light. Binoculars make it easier to pick out. Script by Damond Benningfield

By Any Other Name (Star Trek: The Original Series (TOS), S2 E22) was recommended by Toledo (toe-LEE-dough), he/him, who said: I first encountered this episode, as I did many TOS episodes, in elementary school while I read collections of James Blish's novelizations from the 70s. Even in text, there were elements I found to be genuinely horrifying: super-powerful aliens that apparently are normally giant, tentacled Lovecraftian creatures; they're coming to conquer the galaxy; machines give them the power to immobilize people and to transform them into helpless, easily- and callously-destroyed polyhedra.It give us a rare example of intergalactic travel in Star Trek: the Kelvans are from Andromeda, arrived in a generation ship, and wish to return.It offers a very clever narrative use of aliens looking exactly human: it's a necessary shapeshifting adaptation for the Kelvans to use the Enterprise, but it's also the key to their demise.I think this episode offers some early vocal callbacks to previous episodes, demonstrating how TOS sometimes handled continuity -- and foreshadowing later Trek. Examples include callouts to "Where No Man Has Gone Before" (galactic barrier) and "A Taste of Armageddon" _Vulcan mind tricks).Tons of genuine silliness: the Kelvans' reactions to humans, Scotty's iconic "it is green."By Any Other Name first aired on February 9, 1968, written by story by Jerome Bixby, teleplay by D. C. Fontana and Jerome Bixby, and directed by Marc DanielsTelepathic aliens take control of Kirk and Spock's bodies with the intention to build new, mechanized bodies for themselves. After receiving a distress signal from a planet deep in the galaxy and far from the last charted area, the Enterprise is contacted by a life form of pure energy that wishes Kirk, Spock, Dr. Mulhall and Bones to beam down. They meet Sargon, a conscious mind trapped in a machine. Sargon explains that their civilization travelled space just like Kirk centuries ago and left people in various star systems to colonize. But this planet suffered a war where all but a few people destroyed themselves. Sargon, his wife and another remain alive like this and wish to take control of Kirk, Spock and Dr. Mulhall's bodies to make android bodies for themselves. The Enterprise accepts their offer after deliberation and Sargon begins work. To allow the body to sustain this transformation, Henock, the third alien, makes a potion to help but has other plans. Sargon devizes a plan to destroy him, apologizes to the Enterprise and accepts their fate thereby ceasing to exist.[2]The Joy of Trek is hosted by Khaki & Kay, with editing & production by Chief Engineer Greg and music by Fox Amoore (Bandcamp | Bluesky)Send us your recommendations, or support us on Patreon.Find us at joyoftrek.com · Twitter · Facebook

The Elephant in the Universe: 100-year search for dark matter Author: Govert Schilling Theoretical Stability and Observational Proof of Dark Matter Halos Headline: Galaxies Need Invisible Halos: Ostriker and Rubin Provide Evidence In the late 1960s, theorist Jeremiah Ostriker calculated that a flattened galaxy like the Milky Way could not remain stable without a large, spherical "halo" of unseen matter surrounding it, providing a theoretical basis for dark matter. This theoretical need was then powerfully confirmed by the observational work of American astronomer Vera Rubin and her colleague Kent Ford throughout the 1970s. Studying distant galaxies, including Andromeda, they discovered that stars on the outer edges rotated at unexpectedly high, constant velocities, rather than slowing down as predicted. This "flattening the curve" of rotational velocities offered the first concrete proof for the existence of dark matter, whose gravity was necessary to prevent galaxies from flying apart. 1958

The first, asteroid 2025 PF2, zipped past at an altitude of just 22,000 kilometers, while the second, 2025 PU1, came even closer at 29,000 kilometers. Both asteroids, small yet significant, highlight the ongoing risks posed by near-Earth objects, with 2025 PU1 being particularly alarming as it was only detected hours after its closest approach.A New Moon for UranusAstronomers have identified a new moon orbiting Uranus, bringing the total number of known satellites to 26. Detected using NASA's Webb Space Telescope, this moon, estimated to be about 10 kilometers in diameter, eluded previous observations, including those from the Voyager 2 mission. Its discovery adds to the complexity of Uranus's moon system and raises questions about the chaotic history of its rings and satellites.Dancing Dwarf Galaxies and the Milky Way's FateA new study suggests that the fate of our Milky Way galaxy is intricately tied to the gravitational interactions with smaller dwarf galaxies as it approaches a merger with the Andromeda galaxy. By studying similar galactic systems, researchers aim to predict how these cosmic dances will influence the evolution of our galaxy over the next few billion years, providing insights into dark matter and cosmic structure.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Societyhttps://academic.oup.com/mnrasNASA's Webb Space Telescopehttps://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/webb/main/index.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.
